Ischia is a volcanic island in the Tyrrhenian Sea. It lies at the northern end of the Gulf of Naples, and is the largest of the Phlegrean Islands. The island is very densely populated, with 60,000 residents (more than 1,300 inhabitants per square km). Ischia’s main industry is tourism, centering on thermal spas that cater mostly to European and Asian tourists eager to enjoy the fruits of the island’s natural volcanic activity, its hot springs, and its volcanic mud.
